Chapter 187 The "Master" of the Hongtai Mountain Forbidden Land

After hearing Ye Xin's words, Xuanxuan tilted his head and tried to understand what his mother meant.

After a long while, he nodded vigorously: "The big gray one said that there is an owner in that place. They all obey the owner's arrangements and patrol along a certain route every day. Once they encounter someone intruding, they will attack."

"Then, most of the human race became food for them."

“Beep, beep…”

Bai Muran's car was behind Ye Xin, and Li Yanwu stuck his head out: "Sister, what's wrong? Do you need help?"

Only then did Ye Xin recover from her shock.

He restarted the car and said to Xuanxuan, "Tell me slowly, what happened to them? What happened to their owner?"

Xuanxuan nodded: "Dahui also said that unless the master allows it, almost no human can come out alive after entering."

"Moreover, it said that someone had been invited in by the owner recently, and it was it who led the way."

Ye Xin frowned again.

No matter what Ye Xin said, she never imagined that the Hongtai Mountain Forbidden Area had been off-limits to humans for nearly a hundred years, and there actually was an owner there!

So, who exactly is this "master"?

From the conversation between Xuanxuan and the wolf, we can learn that the wolves have never seen the true face of their master. They only know that all the animals in the entire Hongtai Mountain forbidden area obey his orders.

In the past hundred years, only a handful of people have been summoned by the master, and once others get close, there is almost no chance of survival.

So, who was summoned?

"Have you asked about the fox spirit?"

Xuanxuan nodded and said, "I asked it, and it said that when they were on patrol, they encountered a fox that was out foraging, but they didn't know where the fox's nest was. Dahui said it should be deep in the forbidden area, and they don't have the right to enter the forbidden area at will."

"Mom, do you know why they help us?"

This is exactly the question Ye Xin wanted to ask.

"Big Gray said it was because we beat away the people in gray-brown clothes."

Ye Xin was shocked again: "Do the people in the Advanced Base have a grudge against them?"

Didn't they notice the wolves around when they were fighting the advanced base?

Had they been targeted by the wolves since then?

She suddenly remembered what Li Xinyi said. Their teammates disappeared in the middle of the night. They didn't make any noise, and they only found out that they had entered the forbidden area by following the blood trail.

Now it seems that this is a warning!

It is very likely that those people were killed and carried away by the wolves, who wanted to warn the people at the strength base not to move forward.

As the scenes connected, Ye Xin felt a chill all over her body. It seemed that it was not easy to catch the spirit fox! It was much more difficult than she had imagined.

She was not careful and her car almost hit the back of Liu Mingfei's car.

Ye Xin stuck her head out and asked, "Captain Liu, what happened up ahead?"

Liu Mingfei stretched his left hand out of the car door and made a gesture to keep quiet.

The car window was closed, and Liu Mingfei's voice came from the intercom: "Zombies are blocking the road ahead, about 100 meters away. Muran, turn around and take the backup route."

The road is not wide and it is not easy to turn around.

Ye Xin drove the car carefully back a few meters, then turned the steering wheel. When Ye Xin's car was about to turn around, she suddenly discovered: zombies were coming!

There were zombies surrounding Liu Ming's car!

Those ugly faces were pressed tightly against the windshield of Liu Mingfei's car, with their broken mouths opened towards the windshield.

Ye Xin quickly engaged reverse gear, backed the car to the side of the road, turned the steering wheel all the way down again, and moved forward.

She turned around smoothly and shouted into the intercom: "Captain Liu, abandon the car! Get in quickly! You can't get out!"

At this time, the area in front of Liu Ming's car was already crowded with zombies. Those thoughtless and painless creatures were roaring at the people inside.

"Ho ho!"

“Roar!”

“Pah, pah, pah!”

The car windows were banging loudly.

There was a car about 100 meters in front of Liu Mingfei, which had already broken down. There were even more zombies there, and the car windows had been smashed.

A man leaned out of the car window and yelled at Liu Mingfei: "Help! Help! Save us!"

There was a corpse not far from the car, being eaten by zombies. It looked like it had crawled out of the car and was trying to escape, but it failed to escape the siege of the zombies.

The man's miserable voice echoed in the night sky, attracting more zombies to rush towards the car.

Liu Mingfei seized the opportunity, quickly opened the car door, and kicked a zombie away. Gunshots were heard, and several more zombies were shot in the head.

The pistol with a silencer installed did not attract much attention from the zombies.

Shen Fu and Liu Yong followed the captain's actions, opened the car door at the same time, cleared a bloody path, and quickly approached Ye Xin's car.

Meng Jinghan opened the car door for them, and Shen Fu and Liu Yong jumped into the car one after another.

Then Liu Mingfei opened the door next to Ye Xin and got in the passenger seat.

Before the car door was closed, Ye Xin stepped on the accelerator and the car shot out like an arrow.

The zombie that had climbed onto the trunk was thrown to the ground by her. She pushed away the zombie in front of her and quickly followed Bai Muran's car along the same road they came from.

"Check your body!"

Ye Xin shouted to Meng Jinghan with an expressionless face.

Liu Mingfei was stunned, and immediately understood what Ye Xin meant.

Liu Yong was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Xin's attitude: "Captain Ye, we are teammates!"

"I know!" Ye Xin replied expressionlessly.

"and you……"

"Shut up!" Before he could even utter the words, Liu Mingfei shouted back angrily.

Meng Jinghan didn't need to take action, as he had already conducted a careful examination of himself and his teammates.

"We're all fine! The people in front attracted most of the zombies, so our car hasn't been completely surrounded."

This was an explanation, and it also made Ye Xin feel at ease.

Ye Xin glanced at Meng Jinghan, and Meng Jinghan nodded slightly.

He held Xuanxuan in his arms and kept an eye on the conditions of the three people. If they showed any signs of corpse transformation, he would kill them without hesitation.

We must not leave any trouble behind!

Ye Xin smiled and said, "Captain Liu is quite skilled, so we naturally trust him."

Liu Mingfei: …

After a long while, he managed to say: "Miss Ye is right to be careful. It was my negligence."

The intercom was not turned off, and Bai Muran and Li Yanwu heard the entire conversation word for word.

Bai Muran in the car in front smiled at Li Yanwu: "She still has the same temper."

Li Yanwu refused to buy it: "Our boss is awesome! If it weren't for us, would you have come back alive? You can't handle the people in the Advanced Base alone!"

Bai Muran was speechless for a while. When did this guy become Ye Xin's little fanboy? This is not like him!

Bai Muran asked into the intercom: "Captain, what's going on ahead? Not only is the alternate route longer, but the road conditions are also difficult to navigate. It's dark and the road is slippery. Are we taking too much of a risk now?"

Liu Mingfei glanced at the zombies still chasing after the car and sighed, "It's the Xiyi base. Their car got stuck and it looks like they've been completely wiped out."

"Their car is blocking the middle of the road, and we can't get through at all. You try first. If the road ahead is difficult to pass, we can find a place nearby to stay overnight."

Shen Fu said, "There is a small village ahead, it seems to be called Zhujiaqiao, it is the closest place to Gangtaishan, how about we stay there for the night? Will we go to Gangtaishan tomorrow?"

Bai Muran's car turned into a small road and had to stop after driving a few dozen meters.

"Captain, we can't get through! This place is blocked. Two broken cars are blocking the way. It looks like someone wanted to take a detour and left them all here."

"Let's go back and spend the night at Zhujiaqiao, take a rest and then plan tomorrow's arrangements."

Ye Xin stopped the car at the intersection and waited for Bai Muran's car to pull out before following him.

It was almost midnight when we arrived at Zhujiaqiao.

The whole village was silent. Most of the villagers had gone to the A701 base and were the first group of people to be rescued by their base.

Liu Mingfei was familiar with the place. He directed Ye Xin to drive the car to a large courtyard and said, "This is their village headquarters. We stayed here when we were rescuing people. Although the conditions are average, we can still make do."

He pointed to the three main rooms and said, "You two can take two, and the four of us can just squeeze into one."

"There is firewood there, so we can make a fire and cook."

Ye Xin felt that this place looked very familiar. When had she been here before?
